The Jupiter Drawing Room (Cape Town)’s design team has developed the look and feel for beer brand Windhoek’s Pure Beer Society venues – existing venues, re-launched with handcrafted furniture and fittings made from materials specifically selected for authenticity and quality.

The transformation of the venues stayed true to the Windhoek philosophy, using custom-made items that are 100% real and crafted to the highest standard.

Three local artisans were chosen to create bespoke pieces for the venues.

James Mudge, renowned for his clean lines and use of natural materials, created a large communal table, which features a timeline of the history of Windhoek beer and the beer tasting process engraved in the wood. Lighting expert Ryan Matchett has married his love of natural forms and the outdoors to design a bottle pendant and vat lights using recycled Windhoek bottles, brass and copper. Jared Odell designed a chair and a small table, using green Windhoek crates as bases, for use specifically in taverns.

Further innovative items have also been developed, including illustrated wallpaper demonstrating how to taste beer and Windhoek security grills for taverns.
